OA is A.

(D) © OA Please

IMO (D) I picked (D) because it maintains correct tense throughout the sentence. The (E) has past tense verb form, 'remained'. Ttense wise, wouldn't this be contradictory to rest of the sentence?

IMO (D). In addition to correct tense, I think, the sentence has to be parallel also. 'Waiting' and 'deciding' make (D) parallel.

I could not find any of the options to be correct. Scientists have found new evidence of people initially registering emotions like sadness or anger in much the same way as heartburn—by monitoring what’s going on within their bodies. A. of people initially registering emotions like sadness or anger in much the same way as B. of people initially registering emotions such as sadness or anger much the same way as experiencing C. that people initially register emotions such as sadness or anger in much the same way as they experiencing D. that a person initially registers emotions such as sadness or anger much the same way as experiencing E. that a person initially registers emotions like sadness or anger much the same way as I found the same question in another forum in which the author had claimed the OA was 'B'. DJValentino, did you actually encounter this question in GMAT PREP? If this is really a GMAT question, :mad: !

Learned something new.

I choose C In D, "penal system (to) be reformed as penitentiaries" --- sounds illogical. I think, in this question, 'suggest' is used to 'express an idea or a theory' not to as a subjunctive mood. Example, Arthur C. Clarke suggested satellites can be used for communication.

Pronouns such as 'their' can refer to any noun, not just subjects. In this case, logically we know 'their' is referring to the subject. But it could also refer to the 'patients' also. (and other nouns that are present in the sentence).

Vindoh, It is my understanding that both 'although' and 'even though' are interchangeable. Both have the same meaning, 'despite the fact that'.

Thank you ssang. The thread clarified a lot.

Here is my take. My choice is B A - the meaning of the sentence can be construed as 'both' engineeer and contractor are trying to blame a third party B - Correct C- Wordy D - Same reason as A E - 'one another' is used for more than two entities

Here is my take. My choice is B A - the meaning of the sentence can be construed as 'both' engineeer and contractor are trying to blame a third party B - Correct C- Wordy and also 'each' is singular. The verb 'blame' should have the singular form. D - Same reason as A E - 'one another' is used for more than two entities

'D' it is. From Cambridge, usage of 'consider' ('to be' is optional) verb [T often + object + (to be) + noun or adjective] He is currently considered (to be) the best British athlete.

For the 'farmer' question, I do not think any of the options are correct. What is source of the question? I gave a search on google, look what I found. Following paragraph is taken from 'scienceonline'. When it comes to milk production, nothing beats Holsteins. For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, sated with high-energy chow, and milked regularly—often under the management of a sophisticated computer—these familiar black-and-white cows produce an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each per year. The average Brown Swiss, in contrast, produced only 1,820 gallons last year, and a Jersey less than 1,600.

I have a question regarding referent/antecedent of 'it' in the given choices. What is the referent of 'it' in option D? Is this an OG question?

From Writer's Block - The Web Resource for Communication Professionals "Like" Excludes A like comparison typically (though not always) names only one person or thing in the comparison class, and excludes that person or thing from the group being discussed. For example: When a team has a goalie like Dominik Hasek, it might continue to win despite having slightly weaker defensive players. This comparison talks speculatively about hockey teams whose goalies have abilities similar to Hasek's. The Buffalo Sabres and Hasek are specifically excluded as members of the group under discussion, because only teams that have goalies "like Hasek" (not Hasek himself) are included. "Such As" Includes A such as comparison can name one or several persons or things in the comparison class, but it typically includes those persons or things in the group being discussed. For example: When hockey commentators such as Roy MacGregor or Don Cherry make controversial remarks, the buzz at the water cooler the next morning is louder than usual. This comparison talks about hockey commentators as a class whose members include Roy MacGregor (print) and Don Cherry (television). The buzz around the water cooler increases whenever one of those particular men or other commentators in their class say something controversial. However, in the above question, I could not figure out author's intention. Intention 1 - The cancer tissues are made from teeth and bone (such as) (teeth and bones are examples of the tissues) Intention 2 - The cancer tissues are made from tissues similar to teeth and bone (like) More I look into the question the major error is between 'because' and 'in that' Any thoughts?

Imo, (d)

This question is actually from OG 11, question number 62 (SC). The OA is D.

The OA is (E) which does not make any sense to me. The question was taken from a reputed test-prep test.

I think the answer is E. (A) because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone Some times 'because' is wrongly used instead of 'In such a way' (which is other form of IN THAT). If you replace 'because' with 'In that' (or ' In such a way') the senetence becomes much clearer. 'Because' is used for causal relationship. For example, " I could not go to school because I was sick". "In that' is used as a qualifier. (B) because they are composed of tissues like tooth and bone that are © because they are composed of tissues, like tooth and bone, tissues like tooth and bone - I am not sure about this one. But I remember from school days that the absence of optional clauses, separated by commas, should not change the meaning of the senetence. In this case, if you read the sentence without like tooth and bone there will be 2 tissues together. (D) in that their composition, tissues such as tooth and bone, is Changes the meaning of the sentence.

A certain strain of bacteria was found in the stomach of ulcer patients. A medical researcher with no history of ulcers inadvertently ingested some of the bacteria and within two weeks developed an ulcer. Therefore, it is highly likely that the bacteria strain induces ulcers. Which one of the following, if true, most supports the argument above? (A) People who have th bacteria in their stomachs have been found to have no greater incidence of kidney disease than do people who lack the bacteria strain. (B) The researcher did not develop any other serious health problems within a year after ingesting the bacteria strain © There is no evidence that the bacteria strain induces ulcers in laboratory animals (D) The researcher is a recognized expert in the treatment of diseases of the stomach (E) A study of 2,000 people who do not have ulcers found that none of these people had the bacteria strain in their stomachs I will post OA later.

Kartikayeg, That was simply brilliant!

Any of you who got 10(sqrt41) + 30 as the answer, please explain.

I am afraid the answer is not 4. the question is asking to select 3 balls from 4 red and 5 blue balls. Since the question does not specifically ask to pick any arrangement or combination, the first ball can be selected in 9 ways the second ball can be selected in 8 ways the third ball can be selected in 7 ways Altogether ==> 9*8*7 = 504 Please note: some of the RED ball selections are R1 R2 R3 R1 R2 R4 R2 R3 R4 The color is same but balls are different.

I got 'C' Since spider has to crawl, distance from A to the diagonally opposite corner is sqrt(50^2 + 40^2) = 64 From there to B = 30 (given) total distance 94 Answer choice C (30 sqrt10 = 93)
